high Nessus Plugin ID 252164

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- In DOMPurify through 3.2.5 before 6bc6d60, scripts/server.js does not ensure that a pathname is located under the current working directory. NOTE: the Supplier disputes the significance of this report because the Uncontrolled data used in path expression occurs in a development helper script which starts a local web server if needed and must be manually started. (CVE-2025-48050)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There is no known solution at this time.
